Overview
These VI demonstrate algorithms to generate color tables for LabVIEW color ramps.
Description
Use this Vi to create some color ramp. By using the rotate 1D array you could create some awesome gradient scrolling action.
In the first step the application creates colors shades and then creates movement by an array rotation .
Requirements
- LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Open Scrolling Gradient Color Ramp LV2012 NI Verified
2. Set colors in color array
3. Run VI
4. Change speed
5. Try another colors combination

Very neat thanks for sharing. I had a need to generate a 2D picture with a gradient, so I took your output of an array of color boxes, and used the Draw Multiple Lines function, to draw a horizontal line for each color. There was some room for improvement, using the newer concatenating tunnel function, and removing the build array in Create Gradient Array.vi and just use the normal indexing tunnel.
1 year or not, you accomplished what I was looking for with pretty minimal effort. I didn't have to write the code, I just did a search and this was the first complete result I found. That being said I did develop my own using .Net and a gradient brush but I like the G solution in this case.
